UK charity lists white Xbox One for auction on eBay

It's known that Microsoft has constructed white Xbox One units for employees who worked on the next generation console, but UK charity GamesAid has listed an Xbox One on eBay - and it's in white. The auction includes the console itself (adorned with "I Made This" to the right of the disc tray), along with a special edition controller, Kinect sensor and headset.

If that package wasn't enough, the lucky bidder will also snatch an exclusive Day One Achievement and special Launch Team Achievement. the best part about the auction is that the bids will go to a good cause. The console will not be shipped prior to the launch date; so don't think that by bidding for this special Xbox One you'll receive it before everyone else.

Here's some of the work GamesAid (www.gamesaid.org) does:

Will you be looking to bid on the console for a good cause? At the time of this article going live, there have been 51 bids with a price tag of £2,200. If you're unable to bid, fear not as rumour has it that consumers will be able to snatch up the white version at some point in the future.
